Exact Solutions of Anisotropic Diffusion-Limited Reactions with Coagulation and Annihilation

Condensed Matter 2010-09-22 v1

Abstract

We report exact results for one-dimensional reaction-diffusion models A+A -> inert, A+A -> A, and A+B -> inert, where in the latter case like particles coagulate on encounters and move as clusters. Our study emphasized anisotropy of hopping rates; no changes in universal properties were found, due to anisotropy, in all three reactions. The method of solution employed mapping onto a model of coagulating positive integer charges. The dynamical rules were synchronous, cellular-automaton type. All the asymptotic large-time results for particle densities were consistent, in the framework of universality, with other model results with different dynamical rules, when available in the literature.
